Chrome shows wrong, washed out or desaturated colors everywhere (not just embedded images without color profiles or wrong gamma, but css hex colors), it's a big difference from Safari, Firefox and specially from browsers on Windows machines and phones.
I found during development that Safari will start retrieving suggested URLs even before you finish typing them, so if I'm going to 'news.ycombinator.com', it makes the request when I hit 'n', and by the time I hit a few more characters and enter a few hundred milliseconds later, the request is already complete.
If you hunt around you'll find that chrome is even doing things like speculative DNS queries, opening TCP channels to endpoints that are often opened on pages that you might be trying to load, in some very limited cases even pre-downloading and executing a page "hidden" only to swap it in like you changed tabs once you "hit enter".

If you tend to be pretty "habitual" when using chrome, fire up something like wireshark before opening it and watch what it does when you first start it. A year or 2 ago I did this and noticed it would instantly fire off DNS queries for gmail and start a TCP channel before i've even typed anything! (as at the time the first thing i'd do when opening chrome was check my email).
It's really cool shit, and I'm sure chrome and safari aren't the only ones doing it. I mean the gains can be substantial (especially for mobile devices! getting the DNS query and TCP handshake out of the way on a shitty 3g network before the user stops typing means it will load a few hundred ms sooner) and for many of the smaller changes there are very few downsides.

It's nonetheless a neat feature.

What that practically means is if I'm on ycombinator.com, iOS won't let Chrome, a 3rd-party app, claim to be representative of any page on that domain without proof hosted on the domain.

* It's a lot more power-efficient than any other browser.
* In my experience, it's often faster than Chrome.
* It follows platform conventions. I still get weirded out by Chrome cramming everything into that ⋮ button.
* It syncs history, favorites, and open tabs over iCloud to Safari on my phone. It also supports Handoff.
* It's not made by Google, a company that I prefer to give as little personal information as possible to.
And more generally, it's just more enjoyable to use.
